DECLARING AN INTEREST: an exhibition of creative protest from around the world

 The exhibition will explore social and political activism through the work of artists and peoples use of creativity as a method to get their point across. Images will be downloaded from online sources and pasted onto the gallery walls. The exhibition will be a space where visitors will be encouraged to engage as much in the issues as in the images themselves.

Roy Guy Exhibition

Held in conjunction with the C.R.I (Crime Reduction Initiative) and will include some of the work created by its Service Users.  The aim of the exhibition is to show that Art can have a positive influence on the lives of the people who use the services of the C.R.I.

Exhibition of Prints and Assemblages 10^th Dec – 13^th Jan 2012

John Frost Square Newport

On Saturday December 17^th the Artist will be available to answer questions and will be running printmaking activities open to the public.

The exhibition at U.R.B.A.N Gallery and Art Space,

21-22 John Frost Square

is a first showing of works in progress from a project entitled Hidden Spaces Forgotten Places. The Project is being funded by The Arts Council of Wales Creative Wales Award with assistance from the Contemporary Textiles Course at Cardiff Metropolitan University and will centre on the urban environment of Newport City centre using new technologies to create a diverse range of artworks. It is due to culminate in an exhibition at The Riverfront Centre in the spring. The development of Bill Chambers’ work in printmaking has often relied in some way on his interest in architecture and new processes so this project is a natural progression of his work to date.

Interview with Sarah Hopkins by URBANEWPORT

Sarah Hopkins Photography exhibition at U.R.B.A.N -21-22 John Frost Square

Unfamiliar Newport - “no such thing as ordinary”

An exhibition of colour and monochrome photographs of Newport, taken by Sarah Hopkins during 2011, that catalogue a series of images showing the City in a new (or rediscovered) light. 

It’s all too easy to miss what’s right under your nose, or above eye level – these photographs are witness to the fact that there’s no such thing as “ordinary” with even the smallest detail being worth a second look. 

Newport is variously described as “lively”, “gritty”, “downbeat” (Rough Guides) – these pictures prove the first two descriptions accurate, but definitely not the last – hope you enjoy them, and motivate you to find your own extra-ordinary details hidden across the City.

Exhibition will open Tuesday 15th November and run until Tuesday 6th December 2011.
